The rising deployment of data centers by major IT companies to manage large data sets and cloud service integration in business models add as an advantage to the temperature sensor market. Companies are developing new temperature monitoring systems & sensors to cater the increasing demand, gaining a competitive edge against industry players.
One of the factors restraining market growth is low sensitivity towards external environment which negatively impacts the adoption of these sensors for industrial applications. Also, some of these sensor types showcase a limited temperature range, which consequently results in device failure and increases additional costs.
The non-contact product segment held a market share of around 12% in 2019 and is anticipated to register around 5% gains till 2026. These sensors require convection and radiation to monitor changes in temperature. They can detect radiant energy transmitted from liquid and gas in the form of infrared radiation.
The infrared sensor is experiencing potential opportunities from the healthcare industry. These sensors enable accurate and non-contact temperature measurement in medical applications. These devices are used to diagnose patients suffering from severe conditions, such as infection and hypothermia, and help to deliver increased patient comfort with improved accuracy.
These non-contact sensors are available in small circuit packages, increasing their adoption in various health monitoring devices to measure forehead temperature, ear temperature, and skin temperature without touching the human body. This results in an increasing requirement for temperature sensors to manufacture new temperature monitoring systems to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Non-contact screening machines enable the early detection of abnormal temperature and symptoms, increasing their adoption in offices, buildings, airports, and other commercial areas. In April 2020, ForaCare launched autonomous temperature measuring stations to fight against COVID-19, thus assisting the healthcare system. This system does not require any operator and can measure forehead temperature remotely through its non-contact technology.
